KUMMER is a German alt-rock trio led by Felix Brummer, with Malte Vie on bass and Max Bruhns on drums. The band formed in 2018, taking their name from the German word for sorrow or grief. Their debut album 'KIOX' came out that same year, featuring songs like 'Bei Dir' that connected with listeners through raw, personal lyrics about difficult emotions.
Felix Brummer grew up in Ueckermünde, and his music often draws from his own experiences with depression and family struggles. The band's second album 'Morgen' arrived in 2019, followed by 'Endlich Richtig' in 2020 and 'Endzeit' in 2022. They also released a live recording from Hamburg in 2021.
Some of Brummer's lyrics about mental health have drawn criticism while others have found them honest and relatable. The music maintains a melancholic quality throughout their releases, though 'Morgen' showed some movement toward more introspective and hopeful moments alongside their established sound.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
